I mean, if this continually had the cheapest source for Microsoft points in the OP, I think it'd be worth having. LIVE induces enough impulse buying to warrant hopping on the site, checking for the cheapest place for points at the time and making a purchase... whether it be eBay, online retailer, or B&M.

damn you got reemed! A for effort, but yeah these are rarely on sale, and if its not from amazon they sell out pretty quick. sorry tyrone, this thread needs to get the axe. also, you should have put "space bucks" in the title.

At the moment it's still a small deal at amazon. 1600 points for $17.99 (MSRP $19.99) and 4000 points for $44.99 (MSRP $49.99). If you do the math, the deals are identical: about 90 cents per Microsoft buck (80 points). No advantage for either deal.

Oh, and no tax for most, though I don't know - do you pay tax on point cards at retail? I've only bought them from amazon.

I actually like this idea, when you need points/subscription renewal you have an instant source where to get them at the cheapest price! Then every idiot who asks for deals on xbl pts, etc can just point them to this thread. Especially now the DOTW thing, my points are getting used up more often than before. Bravo OP.

actually i know now of two past deals that i missed out on cuz there is no single thread on this matter/items..the first being doritos giving out free points in the form of 400 point n up--by the time it came back in a main thread they were only giving out 100 points per text-n it took forever to just get 1-now where the hell was that thread when they were giving out mad points-for free

DEALS GOING ON NOW

n the best buy free sherlock holmes movie tickets/ n avatar clothing that came with a 1,600 points seemed like a cool freebie

Regarding buying points for ridiculous prices, they may well be of criminal nature. iTunes cards were at ridiculous prices and people who bought them sometimes got bitten later, even though they worked at first. The scam was that they were bought with stolen credit cards. If the card got reported, then they'd find out that the points were purchased with a stolen card and then Apple would remove your account. In addition to that, buying the points essentially meant that you had, wittingly or not, supported the crime of stealing credit card numbers. Some day you could well get bitten by *that* due to making the stealing of credit cards easily profitable.

So... if the price seems too good to be true on ebay, odds are it *is* too good to be true. Even if you never see any direct consequences to your account, you are supporting criminal activity.
